Introduction: Lepidochelys olivacea is the most abundant sea turtle in the Colombian Pacific
and oceanographic conditions at the Eastern Tropical Pacific may have an effect on its …

Growth patterns of hatchling snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) were measured for 14
weeks. Hatchlings from eggs incubated at 27 C grew more rapidly than those incubated at …

This study monitored natural nest temperatures and examined the effect of incubation
temperature on hatchling phenotype of the freshwater turtle Elseya albagula to determine …

Eggs of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) were incubated in the laboratory on wet and dry
substrates (water potentials of-150 kPa and-1100 kPa, respectively) at constant …

Leatherback turtles have an average global hatching success rate of∼ 50%, lower than
other marine turtle species. Embryonic death has been linked to environmental factors such …

The nesting ecology of Podocnemis unifilis was studied over two years at a western
Amazonian location which essentially lacks a dry season. Nest loss due to flooding over …

As global temperatures continue to rise, so too will the nest temperatures of many species of
turtles. Yet for most turtle species, including the estuarine diamondback terrapin …

Abstract Changes in temperature regimes are occurring globally due to climate change as
well as habitat alterations. Temperatures are expected to continue to rise in the future, along …

Locomotion performance plays a vital role in determining hatchling green turtle Chelonia
mydas survival in the first few hours after emerging from their nests as hatchlings crawl and …

Background Reeves' Turtles (Mauremys reevesii) are economically important in aquaculture
in China. Understanding the effects of incubation temperature and substrate moisture on …
